On Ashbourne Road lies The Hanging Gate. A pub, which, over the years, has faithfully preserved the building's original style and character, contributing to the creation of a quintessential, traditional British pub where patrons can relax, enjoy a drink, and relish a delectable meal, whether inside or outside.
The menus feature an extensive array of hearty classics and cherished country pub favourites, complemented by seasonal offerings that capture the essence of changing seasons. As you peruse the menu, take comfort in the knowledge that the bar is well-stocked, offering a diverse selection that includes cask ales, fine wines, and a delightful variety of British gins, catering to every palate, that all pair well with the delicious meals. Depending on the weather, you can choose to revel in the beauty of the enchanting gardens or cosy up by the crackling log fires.
Main courses available from Monday to Saturday encompass delectable options such as mildly curry-infused smoked haddock and kedgeree fish cakes with a poached egg, Tenderstem broccoli, hollandaise sauce, and fries; an indulgent beef and red wine lasagne with garlic ciabatta, and a 21-day-aged prime steak burger crowned with maple-glazed beef brisket, streaky bacon, mayo, smoked Cheddar, cheese sauce, and a side of southern-fried onion nest.
If your visit falls on a Sunday, enjoy choosing from a selection of hearty roasts, each served with crisp seasonal vegetables, beef-dripping roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, and as much gravy as your heart desires. Consider the Sunday trio, featuring sirloin of beef, pork belly with crackling, and turkey breast with stuffing. Alternatively, relish a classic turkey breast adorned with a maple bacon crumb and accompanied by stuffing and chicken gravy, or savour a candied vegetable roast crowned with pumpkin seeds, served with tomato sauce, roast potatoes, carrots, green beans, and broccoli.
